Ako Mismo, San Basilio

So I was watching that video from that 1981 Lito Lapid hit “San Basilio,” and I figured that all the commitments made at AkoMismo – sincere and patriotic as they are – are small fry. See, if this country will ever have progress, we all need to be Julio Valiente. All these small-fry promises we’ll make will not change this country and put us in first world status by 2020. The way I see it, we should stop looking at “little things we can do.” Guys, little things suck and blow at the same time. Let’s look at big, action-packed things that involve us being proactive.

We need to look at the shit, yo.

In the interest of this so-called grassroots pledges made in the name of a better Philippines… we all need to be a Julio Valiente. To prove that all these small promises will not get rid of bad guys, let me refer to my marginal notes…

00:31 – usual gun demo

00:40 – gun flip sequences

00:59 – machetes bound together like Kratos knife

01:04 – machete push-pull sequences

01:10 – airborne machetes return to back

01:30 – one machete swung around like a lasso and proceeds to behead dummies

06:11 – looks of disbelief, all 3 bad guys get shot in the forehead dying from invisble bullet whiplash

06:14 – Guinness world record for fastest recovery during a fall

06:22 – he used daggers? Why didn’t he use his bullets?

07:16 – OMFG he didn’t start chopping up that stick to disarm his opponents!

So all them small-fry promises will NOT do anything – if at all – unless someone promises to do what Julio Valiente did at 07:33. I don’t know if I’ll see “Ako Mismo ay sisipa ng isang makatarungang patpat diretso ng puwet ng kaaway… saging lang ang may puso,” but anything is being promised there, yo.
